I was complete on 10/1, interviewed on 11/2, and was accepted on 11/17. Here is what I learned about their admissions process. There is one person going through approximately 6,000 secondary applications to make the interview decision. He takes his job very seriously. This is evidenced by the fact that when I met him during my interview he knew EVERYTHING about me. While making conversation, I asked him how he is able to weed through 6,000 applications to pick out 300 people to interview, and he told me that above all, he tries to look at the whole person. Numbers are nice, but he is looking for a specific personality type that will thrive at Loyola. Because one man is doing this entire job, it understandably takes awhile for the interview decision to be made. However, once it is made, these people are fast! I was offered an interview just after my three week post completion mark passed. I called them on a Monday, and they asked if I could be in Chicago on Friday. The adcom meets every two weeks, and that evening, the same person who makes the decisions on interviews, will call you at home to let you know that you have been accepted. It's a happy phone call. For me it was 6 weeks from completion to acceptance. Very fast.
Anyway, relax. They are taking their time selecting the perfect candidates to interview. This is one school where numbers are not the end all be all. They want to know the real you. This takes time.
